(And yeah, at least Helsinki tends to be pretty friendly and talkative, and ESPECIALLY in the summer with those happy drunken park parties going on all over, but once you get out to the sticks things can get a little morose. Especially if there's a language barrier...)

He blames a mistake in an article he says was written off an interview in the German magazine Der Spiegel, badly misinterpreting what he said — that such a cloning might theoretically be possible someday — and arriving at the conclusion that he was actively looking for a woman to bear a cave baby with DNA scavenged from ancient Neanderthal bones. He suggested poor translation skills may be part of the problem.

“I’m certainly not advocating it,” Church said. “I’m saying, if it is technically possible someday, we need to start talking about it today.”

Antigua and Barbuda is a small country in the Caribbean that for years had a flourishing gambling industry.

A few years ago 5% of all Antiguans worked at gambling related companies. However, when the U.S. prevented the island from accessing their market the industry collapsed.

“What was once a multi-billion dollar industry in our country, employing almost 5% of our population has now shrunk to virtually nothing,” Antigua’s High Commissioner to London, Carl Roberts, said previously.

Hoping to rebuild the gambling business Antigua filed a dispute at the World Trade Organization (WTO), which they won.

In 2005 the WTO ruled that the US refusal to let Antiguan gambling companies access their market violated free-trade, as domestic companies were allowed to operate freely. In 2007 the WTO went a step further and granted Antigua the right to suspend U.S. copyrights up to $21 million annually.

TorrentFreak is informed by a source close to Antigua’s Government that the country now plans to capitalize on this option. The authorities want to launch a website selling U.S. media to customers worldwide, without compensating the makers.

@taphead: I finally watched that video, and I think some people in your country are deeply insane.

@Steve Toase: For some reason when I was falling asleep last night I thought of that article, and realized that the rifle/chest slapping could be a new form of breast augmentation. I'm waiting for a workout craze that helps one grow bigger boobs. (Not for me though. I like my small tits.)

A controversial theory that the way we smell involves a quantum physics effect has received a boost, following experiments with human subjects.It challenges the notion that our sense of smell depends only on the shapes of molecules we sniff in the air.Instead, it suggests that the molecules' vibrations are responsible.
